In the Paris Olympics, the men's 100-meter final took place on August 5 (JST), with Noah Lyles from the United States winning the gold medal with a time of 9.79 seconds. Celebrating his victory with a Kamehameha pose from "Dragon Ball," Lyles' actions have become a hot topic on social media.

What caught significant attention in Japan was his display of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" as a charm hidden in his side before the start of the Olympic trials. Moreover, on Instagram, Lyles was seen wearing a Duel Disk and showcasing "Exodia the Forbidden One," asserting his "ultimate" status. Although he has not prominently displayed Yu-Gi-Oh! cards during the Olympic races, there is a possibility he might at some point.

The internet is abuzz with comments like, "Noah Lyles, the world's fastest Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, is truly inspiring," "Though there wasn't a Yu-Gi-Oh! performance, please continue to love Japanese culture," "KONAMI should partner with Noah Lyles; he won a gold medal, so they should give him Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and make a fun commercial," and "Congratulations to Noah Lyles on his gold medal win and for being a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan."
